The change to report the error was added recently but I don't see how 
reporting errors could cause your problem.

I suspect the firmware on the controller is locking up.  Code in -CURRENT 
will perform a register dump on command timeout, which is the usual 
indicator of a lockup.

I'd go looking for the latest firmware for your controller.
